Absolutely beautiful home with all the amenties you could ask for. The home was charming, clean, and well stocked. The heated pool and hot tub were the highlights of the trip. Walkable to the beach and restaurants. Our new favorite Tybee vacTion spot!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
What a charming and delightful place with many nooks and crannies for hanging out, playing and relaxing! The backyard is a cocoon of privacy and the hot tub was a welcome place to warm up and relax. The vintage decor and appliances are charming! Beware that the ovens work really well so keep your eye on the food! Bed was super comfy and the shower was hot with great pressure! Thanks for a lovely getaway!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We try to keep our expectations realistic- a place with some fun things to occupy the kids, close to the beach, close to restaurants and grocery stores, ya know, the basics. This property really has it all! Missy is so responsive and easy to work with. She provided recommendations for bike rentals as well as nice places to eat to celebrate a birthday. We have three young kids and they loved being able to relax in comfortable spaces, including around the pool with a TV (hey, we are on vacation!). Every detail is thought of and you really feel like you’re home away from home with resort amenities. We hope to book again soon. The Salty Mermaid exceeded all of our vacation wants and needs (even during a cold week in a beach town).
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was an amazing place for our family trip to the beach with three little girls. The house is beautiful, every detail is on theme. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, and games were a huge hit. Movie night on the front porch was great! Only negative was that there is a raccoon that pulls out the garbage bags near the pool and leaves a "mess" on the pools edge.
